The massive videogame event in Cologne hasn’t even started, but that hasn’t stopped Kalypso Media from revealing their new Gamescom trailer for their upcoming third-person action RPG The Dark Eye – Demonicon.

The Dark Eye – Demonicon is a thrilling action-RPG set in the extraordinarily popular universe of “The Dark Eye”, a richly crafted fantasy universe beloved by fantasy gamers throughout the world.
